That has worked really well Nigel. Strong set and not a dud among them. Good shooting.

Lovely spot, well taken

That is just savage, we do oft forget/ hate to be on the wrong side of the lens. But that is just lovely.

I can empathise with you Derek on the 'Home Improvements' front. I seem to have done little else for the past 2 years, converted the entire cellar areas of our Victorian house into a music room, bar area, laundry room and workshop / storage area. Very hard work, good luck with your improvements and hope you get finished quicker than I have!

Cheers David. I can empathise with you Derek on the 'Home Improvements' front. I seem to have done little else for the past 2 years, converted the entire cellar areas of our Victorian house into a music room, bar area, laundry room and workshop / storage area. Very hard work, good luck with your improvements and hope you get finished quicker than I have!

I have seen the photos of your savage home improvements, they put mine to shame, design wise anyway, mine are nothing so grand, just making a flat for my son, so new stairs from 2nd sitting room up to the bedroom. Ensuite, new kitchen, separate heating system, new front and back entrances. Existing house still has 5 double bedrooms so we aren't stuck for space.
Next is to redo his old rooms and ensuite for my daughter. Having already redone her old room.
Pressure is off slightly as he moved in today. So

Mmm. Not sure about that David.
As far as I remember I have used at lenses in the past when trying to shoot bif with cif by just switching to mf on body and lens if it had it. Body only if it didn't. Won't get a chance to check it for a while due to some " minor" home improvements.
The absolute joys and woes of an inquisitive mind and a lifetime spent working in all building trades.
My fav bit at the minute.

The honeybee with pink flower pic was featured in the Telegraph and Argus Camera Club section in the paper this week, very chuffed to see it there.
Especially at ISO6400. It's a very usable image!
Nice one, congrats. The honeybee with pink flower pic was featured in the Telegraph and Argus Camera Club section in the paper this week, very chuffed to see it there.

Very nice set of shots.

Good shooting

Its quite difficult to not end up with a black background when using tubes and macro. If the flash is strong enough to light the background then chances are you've blown the shot.
Black can suit them at times. I'd rather have the black background than no image anyway.
